Nice report as usual mate! Unfortunately, complete disgusting overcast here, it's feral.
The NGC 2452/3 pair sounds interesting, and fits in the same FOV at 214x...sounds like quite a treat, I must check it out. I agree with you on NGC 3242....IMO it's the best PNe in the sky for colour and detail. Heck of all the PNe, it's my absolute favourite. Totally creams the grey donut of M57!
Lots of great PNe making their way into the skies now, Including NGC 3242, NGC 3132, NGC 3918, NGC 3699, NGC 2818, NGC 3195 and ofcourse the Spiral Planetary
